There has always been a sizable group of Americans who admire psychopaths, who love the powerful bluster, the willingness to "say what we're all thinking," regardless of whether it's true or not. They mistake it for courage and strength because they are weak themselves. trump, a coward, a bully, and a liar, is the god of cowards, bullies and liars.

Out of curiosity, I did a Google for “today’s news headlines” and clicked on New York Times. The Trump submarine secrets story isn’t at the top. It’s near the middle. The top story is the jobs report, followed by gloom and doom about inflation and jittery markets, then stuff about the latest Republican bs, then something about an Iranian winning a Nobel prize. They take a minute to arrive at this beauty:

Trump Said to Have Revealed Nuclear Submarine Secrets to Australian Businessman

Soon after leaving office, the former president shared sensitive information about American submarines with a billionaire member of Mar-a-Lago, according to people familiar with the matter.

I love how the headline states “Trump is SAID to have revealed” but the subheader flat out says he shared it. Our mainstream media needs to start acting responsibly.

"Mr. Kelly, when then-President Trump made any of those statements, why didn't you resign and hold a press conference to inform the American people why you could no longer be a part of the administration?"

Said no journalist in DC ever.

the comments on the Commander bites the SS but loves staffers stories are incredibly toxic - read the article by all means but avoid the comments

At least my father who was a combat infantryman and fought in France and Germany in WWII was spared this. He was pissed throughout his life at the 4F celebrities who had a fine time during the war and he left a wife and child. Not to mention the shit he saw when his unit liberated Dachau extermination camp. Fuck You Trump

I’m guessing that after Kelly said all that he added that he’s thinking about maybe not voting for Trump in 2024.

Another reminder that all of these people are shit and they only act like they have principles when there’s an angle. I would literally bet money he’s shopping for a book deal.

Excuse me, but did Kelly and Milley knowing choose to work for Donald J. Trump?

Spare me. No one could be more dishonorable and un-patriotic than that lot of unemployables.

The worked alongside that traitor Michael Flynn also.

They're Republicans. They don't actually love this country, even those who were in the military.

A lot of them figure that if we were a military dictatorship things would run so much better

But remember, Obama was the one who really insulted the military by holding a coffee cup. Oh, the dishonor!

Off Topic, Why did all the Dems in US House of representatives vote for Matt Gaetz, teen-horn dog's resolution?

Also, it's standard operating procedure for the minority party to vote against a majority's speaker, whether filling the seat or vacating it. It would be incredibly bad messaging for Ds to support Kevvie after all the BS he's pulled (reneging on his deal with the President, blaming the Ds for the near-shutdown, etc.)

Because McCarthy went on tv last weekend and trashed them.

Thank you

There was some speculation they might abstain (telling the GOP "this sounds like a you problem") but only if McCarthy introduced a Ukraine funding bill, like, first thing Monday morning-- then McCarthy went on the Sunday shows to remind everyone he is an untrustworthy shitweasel (I know, "shitweasel libelz!").

Forgive me if I offend you, but this sounds like more white-boy posturing the consequences of which fall on the rest of us.

The consequences of leaving McCarthy in place were not going to be great either. He was not capable of giving Democrats the slightest reason to think he could make a bargain and stick to it.

Still waiting for anyone besides MSNBC hosts to call out the lunatic things Trump says as completely unhinged. Just reporting them as though they are just another opinion is ludicrous. Start harping on Trumps age if you are continuously going to report that "people are concerned about Biden's."

Keep in mind a lesson we learned during Katrina, white people are "surviving", black/brown ones are LOOTERS!

my feeling is that the crazy we currently see, like an iceberg, is really just the weathered top w/ the bulk floating below the surface … they’ve got nothing, nada, & the msm demands content or they’ll spin it from whole cloth … donald is a content provider but doesn’t provide quality content … the media are currently dunking on him (this is good) but accept his threadbare offerings hoping to generate the requisite clicks or whatever … he’s Naked & Afraid w/ good reason … it gets better …

Trump doesn't want to order the National Guard into cities that have high crime rates. Trump wants to order the National Guard into cities that have lower crime rates but Democratic leadership -- PAB will just claim there's a lot of crime...
